What does arvo mean? In Australia it's afternoon, like "what are you doing this arvo?" so it strikes me as a very, very strange name. I literally laughed when I saw it. Also Mate. That would be hilarious, everyone would just call the child "maaaaaaaaaaate."

Besides of meaning "afternoon" in Australian English, Arvo is also a Finnish word for "value" and "worth" :)
